Show Off Your Mounts

oldbillthundercheif · February 6, 2007, 12:02 AM

From posting a few pics in another thread, I got the idea that some of ya'll enjoy the fine art of taxidermy. If I can work a digital camera, any of you should be able to as well. I bet somebody here has some impressive disembodied critter heads and I want to see them...

Here's a few of my favorites:
Polar-Bear Skull

3/4 of a pound shy of the Lake Michigan Lake Trout record(29 1/2lbs)

OMG, LOOK AT THE TEETH ON THAT POLAR BEAR!!!

All very nice mounts, btw!

oldbillthundercheif · February 6, 2007, 01:45 AM

I've got a mean-looking wolf rug, but I'll have to post photos of that later...

FrontSight · February 6, 2007, 09:31 AM

Awesome, keep em coming, would love to see the wolf one...

oldbillthundercheif · February 6, 2007, 10:42 AM

Where's the rest of the cranium collectors? There must be a few wandering around here...

Rembrandt · February 6, 2007, 08:45 PM

Too many to post them all....but here's some of the collection. Have around 40+ different mounts spread out in two homes. Everything from Brazilian Pirahna to Bison and Jackalopes. New trophy room is in the works this year, hope to have it done by fall. Sorry for the poor photo quality....

Great collection of mounts, Rembrandt ! This is pleasurable viewing !!!

That fox & pheasant coffee-table thing is pure genius.

I like the warthog-whitetail-from-hell.

firechicken · February 8, 2007, 06:51 PM

Rembrandt -

You really need to take me whitetail hunting with you!

I'm not that far from Iowa.

WeedWacker · February 8, 2007, 07:52 PM

Me too! (Actually I just left waverly and I am in minneapolis) I think i'm going through withdrawl. haven't been hunting for two years and my finger is twitching.

Rembrandt · February 8, 2007, 08:12 PM

Sorry guys, there are no big deer in Iowa....just a rumor cheesy magazines spread to increase sales. All those antlers came from Missouri and Minnesota.

FirstFreedom, this ones for you.....a genuine Werewolf Killer Deer, very rare mutant species that howls at full moons durings halloween. Can only be killed with a silver bullet to the heart. (OK, would you believe it's Iowa's version of the Jackalope?)

Jseime · February 9, 2007, 02:39 PM

We dont have any big deer in Saskatchewan either you guys might as well all stay at home and ill keep shooting the little ones.

Clayfish · February 10, 2007, 10:12 PM

charlie in md · February 13, 2007, 10:27 PM

My hunt of a lifetime buffalo, plus a couple of deer.

wetdawg · February 25, 2007, 03:06 PM

I probably spend to much time in the woods according to my wife, but sometimes patience is rewarded.

Prophet · February 27, 2007, 03:35 PM

I really don't want to sound stupid but rembrant what the hell is that thing? Did you have it made that way or did you kill it like that? what the hell is a jackolope (sp?) ? Please no flame i'm intrigued about this animal.

Eghad · February 27, 2007, 04:23 PM

I mount my stuff in mah belly.....

Trapp · February 27, 2007, 05:07 PM

World record Red Hind

My first and only deer

The first duck my Black Lab Maggie retrieved

Didn't do these myself, but I am going to start doing poisonous snake skins next year (or even this summer!!) Then I will move onto animal skins....

WeedWacker · February 28, 2007, 02:00 AM

um your links are broken

Delynn · March 1, 2007, 04:12 PM

Very nice grouper. Who did your mount. I saw either yours are another record at Chad Coopers place. He does the best work.

Trapp · March 1, 2007, 05:27 PM

It was done at Coopers. I doubt another record will surface for that fish for quite some time. I beat the (10yr) old record by almost 2 lbs. That is a lot for an 8lb 7oz fish!!
